Chapter 65

Why did he say that? Ehhh, just excited?

"Oh, yeah...? I thought, the guy who fetched Elizabeth last time was your husband??" This is a puzzled question.

"That was my father's teacher heheh!"

My son said while he was wearing a suit with other clothes n

"Father? Wait, what? then how can you be her husband--ohh, you must be divorced?" He asked me nodding.

"Uhm, no. We haven't been together but yes, I'm divorced but not from him." I promise.

I'm sure he's confused about our situation. He was even more confused especially because Xander said he was my husband... even though he wasn't really.

"Ah, ha ha ha! It's a mess... anyway, I've said what I had to say. So, let me excuse myself first. Goodbye, I have something important to do." He said before leaving.

We were about to enter Xander's car but he stopped me.

"I think it's better to use your car. You knew earlier, right, something might happen again when they see this car. We don't know Elyse, they just scattered around." He promised.

I thought he was right, maybe they remembered the plate number of Xander's car...

"Yeah, yeah. I get your point. So, should I drive or you?" I scratched my head and asked him.

"What are you talking about?" This is a question for us.

"No sweetie, just adult talk okay." I said and he just nodded.

We got into my car. He was driving, I was next to him and Elizabeth was holding me.

I guess I should have driven because I knew better where Mike's house was.

"Are we going home, Mommy?"

"Yes, sweetie."

"Yehey! We're going home to Daddy Xander's house!" He said happily and raised his hand.

What he said at the end still sinks into my brain. I blinked at Xander and it only took a few seconds for him to turn to me for a moment before looking back at the road, I can still see his smirk for a moment.

"Uhm, sweetie. We're going home to your Daddy Mike's house, not Xander's." I explain.

I didn't know that he meant something different from his question. I thought he was saying we were going to Mike's house, but it turned out to be Xander's.

"Eh? Why? I prefer Daddy Xander's house--" I didn't let him finish the rest of what he wanted to say.

"Are you going to leave your Daddy Mike? For Xander?"

"It's not-- he's not mine...I mean, it's Mommy, I don't know if he became my Daddy? I can't feel anything about him. he's just like a stranger who suddenly wants to get close to me and even calls me son even...even..."

"You're just getting used to him sweetie, you'll get used to it." I told him.

"Mommy? Do you want us to live together forever?! Shall we leave Daddy Xander? I thought you loved each other..."

"This is annoying!!"

"In the first place, I don't even like to live there even once! Can't I just choose where the place I like Mommy?!" There is a trace of irritation on his face.

This is the first time to see our ability as a team.

"I'm sorry sweetie, as long as your my daughter and young like that, you gotta need to understand that you have to listen to me and obey." I promised him.

"Elizabeth," Xander called to her.

"Elizabeth." He stopped and looked at Xander.

"So...?"

"Can you wait until your mom and I got married?" He suddenly asked my son. I looked at Elizabeth and I could see she was confused.

"If you two got married then will that make us finally live together?"

"Yeah..." Xander and I answered together.

"Okay.I'll be waiting, I can wait!" He excitedly said. I just smiled and hugged him tightly from behind him.

We have arrived in front of Mike's house. Elizabeth got down and ran to Mike to help, Mike was just outside the house and it seemed like he was just fixing something on his car.

"Uhm, Xander. I'm coming down." We both looked at each other. He moved a little to hug me and when he hugged me, I hugged him back.

"Can I see you again tomorrow?" He suddenly asked while still not letting go of my hug.

Mike is sure to wonder why it took me so long to get out of the car.

"Yep, you can." I happily answered. He let go and touched both my cheeks. He kissed me on the lips and then on the forehead.

"By the way, I think I'll borrow your car first but I'll also return it. Or I can just buy you a new one, what do you think?"

"No, don't stop. It's fine. Just use it faster so you can get it back to me." I promise.

He was about to get out of the car maybe when I opened the door but I don't know why he suddenly stopped while his eyes were outside the car.

"F**k... wait, is that Mike? I mean, is that what you're saying is Mike?" I just realized that he was looking at Mike.

"Yep, why? Do you know him??" I asked wonderingly. Maybe he really is what Xander says is Mike, whom he knows. but he said he hates Mike...so it's not good when the Mike I know and the Mike I know are the same.

"Damn, you better stay away from him Elyse. Don't let Elizabeth get close to him, he's not a good guy!" He suddenly said that it disturbed my mind.

"What are you talking about?! I don't understand you??" I was surprised when he held my hand tightly.

"He's a bad guy--" I didn't let him finish what he was going to say.

"What makes you say that then? Do you have any proof that he's a bad guy? if you don't have any proof then I won't believe anything that you say. I know Mike since high school and I can tell that he's good and nice."

"It's not what you think he is...you don't know him Elyse. I know Mike better than you."

Xander Ferrer's Pov.

"If you two got married then will that make us finally live together?" This is a question.

"Yeah..." I turned to Elyse.

"Okay. I'll wait, I can wait!" He said that it would excite him.

I secretly smiled. Knowing Elizabeth wants me to be her father makes me happy. but I'll be happier if we're finally living together...as a family.

I looked around and noticed that this place seemed familiar to me.

Wait a minute...this house looks so familiar? Isn't this Mike's house?!

I didn't notice that Elizabeth got out of the car. He ran up to the man, I couldn't see his face because his back was turned.

I turned my gaze to Elyse when she spoke. "Uhm, Xander. I'm coming down." We both looked at each other.

i'm gonna miss her...so damn, much!

I moved a little to hug him. I feel it hugging me back.

"Can I see you again tomorrow?" I asked while still hugging him.

Can't we just stay like this? Hugging each other day and night...

"Yep, you can." It was a happy answer.

I let go of his hug and touched both of his cheeks. I stared at his beautiful face for a moment before kissing him on the lips and forehead.

Right, how am I going to go home? I left my car there? Oh, sh*t! I should call Jeff to take that car away from that place. It's still parked outside Elizabeth's school, maybe Uncle Harry's crazy staff will see it! The f**k?! Why do I still keep calling that bastard uncle?

I just shook my head and looked at Elyse. "By the way, I think I'll borrow your car first but I'll also return it. Or I can just buy you a new one, what do you think?"

"No, don't stop. It's fine. Just use it faster so you can get it back to me." He promised.

what if I buy him a new car like this so he won't notice? Maybe he won't notice that the car's number plate is different? They'll probably track her or follow her because she's with me that time... her life will be in danger if it happens.

I was about to go out to open the door for him. But then when I looked outside, I immediately recognized the man in the car.

"F**k... wait, is that Mike? I mean, is that what you're saying is Mike?"

Elizabeth is with it and it seems like they have something interesting to talk about right now.

Those fake smiles are creeping me out. What the f**k are we doing in his place?!

"Yep, why? Do you know him??"

It means, Mike...is Elizabeth father?! For real? Why? I mean, how? how did he become her f**king father!!

Sh*t! What the f**k is going on here. I'm confused, how did he become a father?

"Damn, you better stay away from him Elyse. Don't let Elizabeth get close to him, he's not a good guy!" I tried to calm the tone of my voice but I couldn't.

"What are you talking about?! I don't understand you??" He asked confused.

I held his hand. I noticed that it was hurting, I didn't notice that I was tightening my grip on her.

"He's a bad guy--" I frowned as he didn't even let me finish speaking.

"What makes you say that then? Do you have any proof that he's a bad guy? If you don't have any proof then I won't believe anything that you say. I know Mike since high school and I can tell that he's good and nice." My blood seemed to boil at what he was saying.

He's good and nice? What a nonsense!

"It's not what you think he is...you don't know him Elyse. I know Mike better than you." I promise seriously.

"If you don't have anything good to say, just leave. If you don't want us two to fight now, don't talk bad to him!"

I laughed out loud.

"Ohh, wow! You're defending her? Seriously Elyse?" I asked in disbelief.

He sighed before speaking.

"I don't know what's going on in your head right now Xander. But this is all I can say, Mike is nice, I know that because I've known him for a long time."

"You know him but not his story. Have you tried to live with him before? you haven't Elyse, but I do that's why I know him better than you! If he's showing you kindness well, that's the fake Mike. You'll regret knowing him once you saw the real him Elyse, trust me." I said calmly.

We stared at each other for a few seconds. he bit his own lip while holding his neck. "I trust you Xander but I guess, not this time. I gotta go." He was about to go out but I tightly held one of his hands.

"I won't let you sleep there with that man! you're coming with me and so is Elizabeth!" I couldn't stop getting angry just thinking about him and Elizabeth living in Mike's house?! The f**k! What if Mike does something bad to her?

This is impossible, maybe, Mike knows something about me and Elyse? maybe he approaches in purpose? But as Elyse said, she and Mike met in high school. That she already knows Mike and she even mentioned to me before that Mike and her ex-husband are best friends?

"Are you crazy! Said...ughh! What the hell Xander! what kind of problem do you have with him? I'm sure that if I ask you why, you won't answer me either!!"

"Then what! I'm in pain!" I tried to remove my hand.

"Elyse--"

"You better go home before I get too angry with you!! and I think you're the one who's showing the real you Xander!" He shouted at me.

He got out of the car.

"Goodbye!" It was the last thing he said before slamming the car door shut.

"Dammit!" I hit the steering wheel angrily.

I started the car and left here.

I took my cellphone.

"Hey! Send people over here now!"

"Location boss?"

"In Mike's house."

"But boss, we have people there, don't we?" I closed my eyes tightly before speaking again.

"More! no question for now Jeff, I'm hot now." I said straight before hanging up on him.

"Boss, what's wrong?"

Jeff asked me.

"Haven't I told you to give me an update? That you tell me everything about what he does every day?! the last update you gave me is when he came back here in the Philippines! What the hell have you been doing these days Jeff?!" I shouted at him while slapping the thick paper I was holding on the table.

I'm here now in my office and with me is Jeff, my Secretary since I started this company, he's been working with me since then.

"I did give you an update boss, I've sent you an email so many times but I don't think that you even read those emails. i even give photos of him and the woman he's with these days." It said.

Woman? Woman who??

"What? You did?" I asked confused. Why don't I remember that he gave me a picture? but well, about the email he was talking about...I admit that I haven't opened an email in a few days.
